Andrew Y. Ames holds an MFA (RISD’08) in Digital Media, a BFA (DU‘04) in Electronic Media Arts and
Design. Ames is a new media artist and designer that plays and plays with games. Games, his work shows, are cultural artifacts that not only entertain and instruct, but epitomize the societies that created them. His modifications bend the rules and reinvent board, video, and card games in unexpected ways that invite critical reflection on consumerism, politics, technology, and media. He was featured in the Providence Journal as one of RISD’s Up-and-Coming Art Stars. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and has most recently been included in Pixilerations at the 5 Traverse Gallery.
